🚨 Steven Pinker was not just mentioned in the files 416 times. He joined Epstein’s defense team, then advised him on transporting minors for s*x 🚨
-A Steven Pinker thread with receipts-
Steven Pinker is the academic who wrote *The Better Angels of Our Nature*, in which he argued that violence, war, and depravity are occurring less now than they used to. He is the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University.
Many are mentioned in the files; not all are guilty. But a red flag went up when I watched an interview from 2019 with Pinker in which he stated, “I couldn’t stand him” and “even before his s*xual crimes came out I thought he was a bullsh*tter.” Except this didn’t make sense because I had already done a soft dive into Pinker and the files, where I found over a dozen photos, numerous events he attended, and a number of times he was ecstatic to meet up with Jeffrey Epstein.
After spending more time on the files involving Pinker, I shockingly discovered that not only did Pinker join Epstein’s defense team in 2006, he advised him one year later when he was asked about the legality of transporting minors. (This didn’t throw you a red flag, Pinker?)
Side note: Lawrence Krauss, who helped organize and attend Epstein-funded scientific conferences and publicly came to Epstein’s defense, apparently thought Pinker was “cute.”
After Jeffrey Epstein was indicted for s*x crimes in 2006, his Harvard lawyer, Alan Dershowitz (who was also one of O.J. Simpson’s lawyers), called on the expertise of one of his Harvard colleagues, Steven Pinker.
A document from Epstein's legal defense (I will show it in the thread) shows that Pinker weighed in on the precise meaning of a federal law about using the internet to entice minors into prostitution or other illegal s*x acts.
You may ask, “So Pinker definitely stopped contacting Epstein after this, right?” No. Records show that Pinker continued to pal around with Epstein for years afterwards. According to the emails I pored over for hours, he attended events in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, and continued on until 2019! This included conferences, gala dinners, discussion panels, and workshops.
Research shows that Pinker’s wording “interpretation letter” was part of the broader defense strategy that helped lead to Epstein's 2008 plea deal, in which he avoided the more serious federal s*x trafficking charges, pleaded guilty to lesser state counts, and received a comparatively lenient sentence.
PINKER DID THAT. Do not let this man BS you. He didn’t “end up in a photo because his colleagues were powzy wowzy with him.” He was complicit. He knew what was going on. And he continued the relationship because there was something in it for him.
Oh, did I mention the insane amount of donations? Imagine having a pedo protector donate to you.
Pinker’s letter providing clarity on the transporting of minors in 2007
Highlighted at the bottom. Pinker was a member of the defense.
Steven Pinker helped craft Jeffrey Epstein's defense when he was charged with multiple counts of child prostitution and other crimes against children in his 2008 criminal case. Pinker continuouly associated with Epstein and avoided warning others of Epstein's sex crimes while he continued his dirty relationship with the pedophile sex trafficker.
